Zoll was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Cheryl and Tony Zoll. She is the only child of Cheryl and shares her father with brother Chris and Dustin Myers. Cheryl is a retired veteran of the Armed Forces. She lived on McGuire Air Force Base for the majority of her life and also resided in Sembach, Germany while her mother was stationed there. Zoll moved to Marlboro Township, New Jersey before her freshman year to attend Marlboro High School, a school her mother chose for the quality of both its academics and basketball. She attended Marlboro for her first three high school years before transferring to Highland Regional High School in the Blackwood section of Gloucester Township, New Jersey for her senior year. Although she has mentioned her wife Serita Norman in previous interviews, she never formally came out until a June 2013 interview with the Windy City Times, stating "If I was straight, I wouldn't have to come out and say that I was straight. So I've never had an official coming-out, or something where I felt I had to announce that I was gay. But everyone knows. I wear my wedding ring proudly; I have matching tattoos with my wife, and also have her name tattooed on me. We go a lot of places and I surely don't hide it ."
